Beschrijving
Discover the wildlife and culture of Shimba Hills National Reserve on a day trip from Mombasa. Enjoy a guided safari, hike to Sheldrick Falls, and visit a Digo village.
Begin your day with a guided safari led by your expert wildlife photographer, who will assist you in capturing breathtaking images of elephants, giraffes, sable antelopes, and additional wildlife. Master ways to capture movement, illumination, and hues while navigating the park’s wooded slopes and expansive meadows.
Then, embark on a guided trek to Sheldrick Falls, a 25-meter waterfall concealed within the forest. Throughout the 2.5 km path, your guide narrates tales about the park’s ecology and its wildlife. At the bottom, relish a cool swim or a photography opportunity at the natural swimming hole.
Following the hike, explore a nearby Digo village to immerse yourself in genuine coastal culture — including traditional dances, coconut cultivation, and artisanal crafts. Next, enjoy a Swahili-style lunch experience, where you can observe a live cooking demonstration and relish local dishes like pilau and coconut fish (USD 20 per person, payable on the spot).
Conclude your day at a scenic overlook that surveys the reserve and Indian Ocean, where you'll have one last photography opportunity as the sun colors the sky with golden hues. Head back to Mombasa in the late afternoon with unforgettable memories — and stunning photos — from your Shimba Hills journey.
